A Samurai, a Demon, and a Ruffian

Part #6

A Demon, and another Demon

Author and Editor: Hello there, otakus. We have decided to introduce new characters, which was pretty hard. I mean choosing the names, the looks, picking the personalities, the powers, and bleh, bleh, bleh. When you make a new character, it requires a lot of thought, and bleh, bleh, bleh... Anyways, the new character is....

TAD-AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Read on, dimwits.

Kenshin: look again, Sano.

Nagi has wrapped her energy sword like a rope around Ryoko's neck and is dragging Ryoko around.

Sanosuke: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! RYOKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryoko: *cough*cough* damn you!

Nagi: *cackles evilly* is that all??? Its almost a disappointment!!! At least try, Ryoko!!! *smash*

Ryoko clutches at her throat and crawls into a ball. Then suddenly, a wind comes sweeping through the street, coming from a huge burst of energy, from... where Ryoko used to be.

Nagi: ...WHAT?!?!?! Where'd she go??? *looks around desperately* in front of me...? behind me...? CRAP!!!

Kenshin: way to go Ryo-san!!! She's won this fight!!!

Ryoko has zanzokened high into the air above Nagi, but Nagi hasn't seen her yet. Ryoko's throat is bleeding freely, but she doesn't seem to notice. Ryoko whips out her sword and is getting into position.

Sanosuke: Isn't this your technique, Kenshin?

Ryoko: *with the sun behind her back* RYU-ZAIZEN!!!

Ryoko strikes at Nagi's front, while Nagi stands mesmerized. In a huge burst of blood and a scream, Nagi zanzokens off the planet. Ryoko lands cleanly on her two feet three seconds later. Then she does a bunch of complicated movements with her katana and flips it into her belt.

Sanosuke and Kenshin: HELL YA!!!!!!! GO RYOKO!!!! AN-WAAAAA!!!! GOWAN!!!

Ryoko smiles and gives them a thumbs up and then falls down flat on her face.

Sanosuke: RYOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Before they can do move or do anything, there is a huge explosion, and the space around Ryoko explodes.

Kenshin: NOOOOO!!!! RYOKO!!! WHAT THE @#%$ HAPPENED?!?!!?!?

Sanosuke falls over in shock. Kenshin stares.

After the dust clears there is a form sitting next to Ryoko.

Kenshin: DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!!!

The dust clears completely, and the two guys see a woman of middle height, with long pink hair and pretty eyes, wearing a pretty soft pastel colored cloak. She stands.

Woman: *in a soft sweet voice* you have nothing to worry about. I'm a friend of Ryoko.

Sanosuke: You lie! Ryoko doesn't believe in friends.

Kenshin: *skeptically* that's right...

Woman: well then too bad. *turns around to Ryoko and sits down to look at her*

Sanosuke: DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!!!

The woman shoots Sanosuke a dirty look and holds her hands over Ryoko's throat. Ryoko twitches and groans, and then lies still. Kenshin whips out his sword and points it at the woman. She looks up at him and her eyes light up in the way not unlike when Ryoko's eyes light up before a fight.

Woman: Are you threatening me?

Sanosuke: Damn right! What the hell did you do to Ryoko?

Woman: Something you could've never done yourself, but should have long time ago.

Sanosuke: *falls* *his eyes turn starlit and he starts crying* you KILLED Ryoko????

Kenshin: gaaahhh!!!!! what did you just say??? You wanted kill Ryoko???

Ryoko groans and sits up.

Ryoko: ow, my head. What the @#$% happened? *looks around* hey, where's Nagi?

*sees the woman* who the hell are y... ARIAKE????? IS THAT YOU, YOU OLD TWIT???

Kenshin and Sanosuke: *completely clueless* ...Ariake...???

Woman: Finally you're up, Ryoko! *runs over to her and hugs her*

Kenshin and Sanosuke look on, flabbergasted.

Ryoko: ...um...uh...

Ariake: *smacks her really hard*

Ryoko: OWWW!!! YOU STUPID IDIOT!!! YOU DO NOT JUST HIT AN INJURED PERSON!!!

Ariake: YOU!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING YOU JACKASS!!! GOING AGAINST NAGI AGAIN!!!

Ryoko: YOU MAKE IT SOUND LIKE I CAN'T OR SHOULDN'T DO IT!!! WHAT IS JUST YOUR PROBLEM??? WHAT AM I A KID???

Kenshin and Sanosuke: ... ... ... *sweatdrops* ... ... ...

Ariake: YOU ARE BY MY STANDARDS!!! IF YOU AREN'T, THEN WHY DO YOU STILL ACT LIKE IT???

Ryoko: SPEAKING OF THE WAY I ACT, WHY ARE YOU HERE, YOU CREEP??? HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING ME, YOU STALKER???

Ariake: (what does this have to do with anything???) FINE!!! NOW DON'T ACT LIKE YOU AREN'T HAPPY TO SEE ME!!!

Ryoko: hn. I never said anything.

Ariake: that's the problem right there. You don't know how to greet an old friend.

Ryoko: bah, humbug.

Ariake: awww... *hug*hug*hug*

Ryoko: yeah, yeah, yeah... nice to see you too.

Kenshin and Sanosuke: meow.

Ryoko: thanks for healing me, Mel.

Kenshin and Sanosuke: Ariake??? Mel??? What??? Mi confuzzled...

Ariake: *turns and flashes a smile to them* heh-heh...

Ariake: Hey everybody, Ariake here! Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm the new person. Well in the next episodes, you'll get to see more of me. Big woop, right? Anywas, cha-la-la!!! See ya!!!

Omake Theater

The guys rest after a hard day, behind the set. Ryoko and Ariake have taken off somewhere.

Kenshin: gah, I'm soo tired...

Sanosuke: yeah, I know. Where have the girlies gone??? Whaaa... I was hoping to go get a drink with Ryoko after the show...

Kenshin: dream on, man.

Sanosuke: are you saying that YOU have a better chance with her than I do???

Kenshin: maybe. But I think more of her like a sister. Although I kind of like the new girl. *blush*

Sanosuke: aww... you sly dog!!!

Girl: Hey it's KENSHIN!!! Hey everybody, KENSHIN'S here!!! *runs up to him* oh my god!!!! Hi Kenshin!!! I'm Michelle, Michi for short!

Kenshin: *overwhelmed and blushing* um... hi, Michi...

Michelle: OMG!!! *completely lovestruck and heart-eyed* HE CALLED ME MICHI!!!

Kenshin: heh...heh...*whispering* hey Sano, doesn't this remind you of anyone???

Sanosuke: *comes up to the girl* hey, I'm Sano.

Michelle: omg!!! SANO IS HERE TOO!!! *shouts out the door* HEY GUYS!!! BOTH KENSHIN AND SABOSUKE ARE HERE!!!

Suddenly you hear the ground shaking, and out runs a mob of smitten teenage girls. The mob includes the Editor, Kira, Kelly, Carrie, Sandy, and Raye, Sasha, Excel, Hyatt and many more.

All: WHERE?!?!?! WHERE ARE THE HUNKS???

Kenshin and Sanosuke: OH CRAP!!! *hide under a blanket and slowly slip away*

All: WHERE'D THEY GO, MISH???

Sandy: GAHHH!!! THAT BLANKET MOVED!!!!

Kelly goes up to the blanket and takes it off.

Kelly: Hmm... what do we have here?

Kenshin and Sanosuke: *running away* oooohh SHIT!!!

They dash along the narrow hallways with the smitten mob behind them.

Kenshin and Sanosuke: Ryoko!!!!!! HEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!
